first edition

1885·San Francisco

by Wagner, Harr, editor and publisher

San Francisco: Harr Wagner, 1885. 588-640p., magazine, about fifty pages of text printed double-column plus ads, paper is partly of alkaline and partly of acidic stock; sewn textblock in 9.5x6 inch wraps. Original thread in good shape, holding an intact textblock, but both covers are detached, fragile, edgeworn, and are scribbled-on (by an untalented child; a previous owner, not ourselves, has attempted erasure). The acidic leaves are very fragile and chipped. Appears to be complete down to the ads, a poor but honest copy. An early Harr Wagner effort; masthead states "thirty-third year," he must have bought into it. Ecclectic topics: a wood-engraved portrait of journalist G.A.H.Sala, Early German Lit by a professor, a grotesque mockery of wine-making in the California foothills (use a dead body), a fiction by Wagner called "Nun or Wife?", an essay on "Work and Wages of Women in San Francisco" by one Alice Dennison. (Inventory #: 221501)
